Reform from Jia She

At the end of June, Lin Ruhai received a letter from Zhen Shiyin. In the letter, he decided to resign from office and go back to his hometown with his wife because of the fierce disputes in the court. The most important thing is that these years, he and his wife have been childless. Ashamed of my ancestors, this time I went back to my hometown to see if I could have a son and a half after resigning from office.

At the end of the letter, Zhen Shiyin introduced several friends of his court to Lin Ruhai, hoping to help Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was not surprised by Zhen Shiyin's resignation and retirement. When he first met this Lord Zhen, he felt that although this Lord Zhen was a noble and upright character, he was really not suitable for officialdom and was easy to be calculated. With the support of one or two friends, Zhen Shiyin will fall into the hands of the rich and powerful last time.

"Master, what's bothering you?" Lin Ruhai was frowning for days, how could Jia Min not see it?I didn't ask all the time because Lin Ruhai has always handled his own affairs very well. This time, the situation seems to be a little different, so Jia Min came to ask.

She may not be able to help, but she can be a listener.

Lin Ruhai didn't want to mention the battle in the court, so as not to worry Jia Min, so he talked about Zhen Shiyin's letter saying that he would resign from office and go back to seclusion.

"Zhen Shiyin?" Jia Min thought the name sounded familiar, recalled it, and finally found the trace in his memory, "Is it the Master Zhen you met when you and my second brother were studying abroad?"

"It's him, Minmin still remembers him?" Lin Ruhai asked in surprise.

Jia Min had never met Zhen Shiyin before, and it was eight or nine years ago that he even heard Zhen Shiyin's name. Although Lin Ruhai and Zhen Shiyin had exchanged letters over the years, these were all personal friendships between him and Zhen Shiyin, and they did not communicate with Jia Min. Mentioned, so Jia Min still remembered Zhen Shiyin, so he couldn't help being surprised.

"I've heard from my second brother that Mr. Zhen has an upright character, loves his wife very much, has no children and has never thought about taking concubines. There are very few men in the world who can do this." Jia Min said.

Lin Ruhai smiled when he heard the words, "Shi Yin is indeed a valuable character."

"Where does Master Zhen plan to go after he resigns? Returning to his hometown?"

Lin Ruhai told Jia Min about the plan mentioned in Zhen Shiyin's letter. Jia Min heard that Zhen Shiyin and his wife had not had children in the past ten years, and couldn't help sighing, "It's a pity."

"Maybe their husband and wife don't have children." Lin Ruhai sighed.

A thought flashed across Jia Min's mind, and he couldn't help saying to Lin Ruhai, "Master, can we invite Master Zhen to study at Lin's family?"

Lin Ruhai was startled when he heard the words, "You mean..."

"Although my father-in-law has fame, he is only a scholar. It is not difficult for the Lin family to take care of his family's education, but if he really wants to teach talents, he must be taught by a serious gentleman. Master Zhen was born as a Jinshi. Talent and learning are more than enough to teach the descendants of the Lin family." Jia Min said.

Lin Ruhai didn't need to think too much, he knew that this proposal was excellent, and Zhen Shiyin would most likely agree.

"Minmin is really smart." Lin Ruhai smiled and praised Jia Min, then went to the study to write a letter and sent it to Zhen Shiyin.

After so many years, Zhen Shiyin has been transferred to Yangzhou as the magistrate, and Yangzhou is not close from the capital. It may take a month for the letter to reach Zhen Shiyin's hands.

Lin Ruhai goes to the yamen to handle cases every day, but he can feel that the yamen is also a bit dark and turbulent, but he is only in the Dali Temple's three-acre land, and his status is only under the Dali Temple Minister. There are not many people who can make things difficult for him. So the days are pretty safe.

After more than a month, Lin Ruhai heard from Jia Min that her second sister-in-law, Wang Shi, was pregnant again, and Wang's first child was difficult to deliver, and she finally gave birth to her eldest son, Jia Zhu, but it also hurt her foundation. Years later, there was finally good news.

However, this had nothing to do with Lin Ruhai, he never interfered with Jia Min's decision in the relationship between relatives.

After another half a month, Zhen Shiyin's reply came, and sure enough, he agreed to Lin Ruhai's suggestion.

Zhen Shiyin's resignation was by no means as simple as being tired of official battles, and it might also be related to the seizure of the heir. Although he had no children, he didn't want to be involved in these messy things.

But if he returned to his hometown like this, it would not be easy to be an ordinary eunuch. Lin Ruhai's proposal to invite him to study at home at this time really hit his heart.

In less than half a month, Lin Ruhai received the news that Zhen Shiyin had successfully resigned from office, and a month later, Lin Ruhai received a letter from his father, stating that Zhen Shiyin had arrived at the Lin family in Suzhou.

As early as after receiving Zhen Shiyin's reply, Lin Ruhai wrote to his father Lin Ji about this matter. Lin Ji's reply was to tell him that Zhen Shiyin had arrived at the Lin family.

After Zhen Shiyin arrived at the Lin family, Lin Ruhai did not write back to ask his father how to arrange Zhen Shiyin. Even if Zhen Shiyin resigned, he was born as a Jinshi. I didn't even ask, after all, everyone has some little secrets.

Smart people should know that some things should not be asked too much.

The battle between the princes intensified, and Lin Ruhai was affected at first, but later he really found out that the emperor was really protecting him, otherwise he would not have been able to survive alone.

After staying in the capital for two years, Lin Ruhai got a hint from the emperor, so he was transferred to a local magistrate, avoiding the most intense moment of scrambling for the heir apparent.

When Lin Wei was 11 years old, he chose to go back to his hometown to take part in the children's examination, and successfully passed the entrance examination for primary and secondary schools. He was so happy that Lin Ji wrote to Lin Ruhai, saying that Wei'er has the talent of number one.

In seven or eight years, Lin Ruhai was transferred from place to place, and his official position has always been the fourth rank.

In the 20th year of Hongzheng, his term in Jinling had expired, and he was finally transferred back to the capital by the emperor.

When Lin Ruhai brought his wife and two sons to the capital, Liu Cong, the head of the Lin family in the capital, had been waiting for a long time. Liu Cong was the eldest son of Liu Gui, the previous head of the Lin family. He has always won the trust of the Lin family, so he was nominated to be the new chief executive of the Lin family.

Because he was going back to Beijing, Lin Ruhai had written to Liu Cong a long time ago, asking him to repair the old house in Beijing. Now that he is in the capital, he just needs to live in it.

After seven or eight years, Lin Ruhai returned to the capital again, and Lin Ruhai couldn't help but feel a little bit of right and wrong.

Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion had been waiting for opportunities in the Imperial Academy since he lost his filial piety, but he was excluded because of his family background. Even though his cousin Jia Jing was admitted to the Imperial Academy later, the situation of the two brothers did not improve much. At that time, Lin Ru's overseas appointment could not help at all.

But Lin Ruhai still wrote a letter to Jia Zheng to remind him that since he couldn't get along in the capital, he might as well be a foreigner.

Jia Zheng listened to Lin Ruhai's words, and after making connections, he also went to work outside Hongzheng for 15 years, and now he has become the fourth-rank magistrate of Yangzhou. When his achievements are enough, he can return to Beijing.

On the other hand, Jia Zheng's cousin seemed to be unable to bear the blow. He resigned from office two years ago and went home to become a Taoist priest.

"Master, Xuan'er is going to be married in May this year, shouldn't it be time to prepare for Wei'er and Xuan'er's marriage?"

After finishing the housework, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai talked about the eldest son's marriage at night.

Lin Ruhai was in a trance for a moment when he heard the words. In a blink of an eye, so many years had passed, and he was also in his thirties, and he had reached the age to be a grandfather. Time makes people old.

"Then get ready, don't let Xuan'er be wronged."

Xuan'er is Lin Wei's fiancée, Sheng Qixuan.

Lin Ruhai's eldest aunt was named Sheng, and this Sheng Qixuan was the eldest daughter of his eldest aunt's natal brother. One year when Lin Ruhai took Wei'er to celebrate his uncle's birthday, Lin Wei met Sheng Qixuan, and Jia Min had a good impression of this girl. So they arranged a marriage for the two.

Now that the court battle for the heir apparent has completely subsided, the older princes lost both sides in the fight. In the end, the twelfth prince took advantage of it and was named the crown prince by the emperor. Depending on the situation, the prince will not be abolished this time, otherwise the emperor will not will call him back.

Although he has been working outside the office for the past few years, he has been working for the emperor secretly. It can be said that he is the emperor's confidant. If not, the emperor would not have entrusted him with such an important position as the servant of the household department.

Not even a month after the Lin family arrived in the capital, news came from the Rongguo Mansion that Grandma Hu in the mansion there had given birth to a daughter.

"I didn't expect that Hu'er has both children now." Jia Min sighed.

Lin Ruhai laughed at her, "It's a pity that I don't have a daughter?"

"Not really," Jia Min took a sip of tea, frowning slightly, "I've been dreaming recently, dreaming that I have a daughter."

Lin Ruhai's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "Think about it every day and dream about it at night, do you want a daughter so much that you can dream about it?"

"Maybe." Jia Min said.

After the end of May, after Sheng Qixuan and the wedding ceremony, it will be Lin Wei and Sheng Qixuan's big wedding. The wedding date is set on the eighth day of June.

After Lin Wei got married, he said that he would take the provincial examination next year.

After the middle school exam, Lin Ruhai has been pressing Lin Wei not to let him take the exam, not because he is afraid that Lin Wei will fail the exam, but because Lin Wei is too young, even if he passes the exam, he will be lowered, so it is better to accumulate a few more. Years, when the age is reached, it will be a matter of course, and I will be more confident.

Now Lin Wei is married, and when married, he is an adult, Lin Ruhai has no reason to hold back, so he agreed to let him go back to his hometown to take the exam.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min heard a piece of news that shocked them both.

Wang Shi was pregnant again.

The news had just come back, if Jia Min hadn't been in the capital this year, she wouldn't have known the news so soon.

"Second sister-in-law is really lucky." She was able to conceive at this age, I have to say, it's amazing.

Lin Ruhai frowned, "Ms. Wang is not young anymore. Pregnancy at this age will cause great damage to the body."

Jia Min said, "That's right, I don't know if the second sister-in-law can make it through."

If she couldn't make it through, the baby would probably kill her.

In less than a month, Sheng Qixuan had good news. Jia Minmin said, "In a blink of an eye, I am going to be a grandmother."

Lin Ruhai put his arm around Jia Min's shoulder and smiled, "I'm going to be a grandfather too."

The couple looked at each other and smiled.

After Sheng Qixuan became pregnant, all the general affairs in the mansion fell into Jia Min's hands. Now that Sheng Qixuan is pregnant, the most important thing is to take care of herself and the child in her womb.

After the new year, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, news came back that Mrs. Wang had successfully given birth to a son. At first, she didn't take it seriously. After all, Mrs. Wang had already given birth to a son and a daughter, so it would not be surprising to have another son, but Soon Lin Ruhai received a letter from Jia Zheng, in which it was mentioned that his second son was born in the title of jade. He tried his best to suppress this matter, but still felt uneasy, so he wrote this letter to Lin Ruhai, Ask Lin Ruhai for advice.
